#slvresidency — Public Fediverse posts

(1/3) I recently took advantage of Tim @wragge Sherratt's #SLVResidency to see what #StateLibraryVIC maps might be useful for mapping scenes of the 1850s Australian gold rush. I found a perfectly suited 1853 map of Mount Alexander / Bendigo goldfields. The neat part is using the @IIIF map tiles via #AllMaps without having to go through #MapWarper. #digitalHumanities

I recorded a video for my #SLVResidency on hacking the SLV website. It talks about looking beneath the hood of #GLAM websites to try and imagine alternatives & fix problems. https://lab.slv.vic.gov.au/resources/hack-website-video-tim-sherratt #libraries #digitalHumanities

What sorts of things do georeferenced maps make possible? This interface turns a street address into a point, finds georeferenced maps from the SLV that include that point, then displays the historic maps with a marker showing the location of the modern address. #SLVResidency

Today was a bit frustrating in #SLVResidency work. But I've now got more collection items into Datasette/Spatialite so I can make spatial queries, including the Committee for Urban Action photos and the georeferenced maps. I'm adding a series of canned queries to use with the JSON API so I can pull things into my new interface that have a relation to a given point. Tired but... and only a week before I head back to Melbourne to wrap things up.

Sneaking up on 500 maps from the SLV georeferenced – in just over 2 weeks. With another 2 weeks to go before my #SLVResidency ends, we might actually make it to 1,000! That would be amazing. https://wragge.github.io/slv-allmaps/dashboard.html

If you're interested in hearing more about what I've been doing during my #SLVResidency, I'll be giving a talk at 1pm on 3 December in the Library's Create Quarter.

A few weeks back, as part of my #SLVResidency, I created a big, fully-searchable database with all the content from the 24 volumes of Sands & MacDougall's directories digitised by the SLV. I've finally written up the details: https://updates.timsherratt.org/2025/11/12/a-new-way-of-searching.html #familyHistory #histodons #digitalHumanities

Been flat out this week trying to get the map georeferencing stuff done, but now I've hit a wall. Need to get myself going again next week because there's only a month left in my #SLVResidency and so much that I still want to do...

Once the documentation is done I'm going to ask folks to help me georeference as many SLV maps as possible before the end of my #SLVResidency in December. In particular I'd like to get some of the MMBW maps done and in a spatial index. More soon!

Feeling a bit pleased with this latest prototype for my #SLVResidency – it's a userscript that adds links to georeference digitised maps in the SLV collection using AllMaps. If an item has already been georeferenced it embeds the AllMaps viewer to show the results. I need to add some documentation, then I'll share...

Today's achievements in my #SLVResidency – got Vite going with UniversalViewer and Bulma; created a spatial database (Datasette with Spatialite) running in the cloud with a few canned queries that will let me find roads and photos from the Committee for Urban Action data within a specific distance of a given point. I'll be using both in my next round of prototypes.

New prototype from my #SLVResidency! This one lets you explore photos from the Committee for Urban Action collection by selecting one of the highlighted roads on a map of Victoria. It's very much work-in-progress and will probably change a lot, but you can have a play here: https://wragge.github.io/slv-demo-apps/cua-browser.html #maps #libraries #GLAM #digitalHumanities
